#thank you so much lyra

[acacia-may]

Welcome back Acacia, I hope you’re doing well and that life has been kind to you 🥺💕! For your ask game how about Langris and Finesse, or maybe a platonic one for Ezio and Altan please 🥰? Sending you hugs and love 🫂💕!

Aww thank you so much, Lyra! Life has been a bit rough, but I am hanging in there. Thanks for the well wishes! 💕I hope you are doing wonderfully and congratulations again on your new milestone event (very exciting!!) 🥰

Thank you so much for your ask and for playing my song + headcanon game! It's so nice to play an ask game again, and I was so thrilled to see your ask about Langris x Finesse! Have I converted you or are you just indulging me by asking about one of my favorite pairings? 😁😂 Also, the cousins too! Aww that's so sweet! 🥰

I've put this all below the cut because I ended up rambling a bit (sorry about that 😅). Thanks again for your ask, dear! Sending you lots of love & hugs as well!! 🫂💕

Langris x Finesse--dear goodness do I love them! Just thinking of them rekindles my passion for Black Clover! Criminally underrated ship, in my opinion. I have an entire Spotify playlist about them, so I will admit it was a little hard to narrow it down. In the end I've decided on a Finesse song since I feel like most of the time when I ramble about this pairing it's always very Langris-centric (i.e. his feelings and his devotion for her) so I don't talk about Finesse's side of things too much. (Sorry Finesse). The song "A Quiet Thing" really captures how I imagine Finesse's love for Langris would develop as a very slow burn and dare I say "quiet thing" over time, really building on this quiet, steadfast devotion that endeared me to this pairing in the first place. I love this song for them since it's really about how some love (like the love I imagine Langris and Finesse would have for each other) is "a quiet thing," and even if it's not the flashy, grand "fireworks" kind of love we tend to think of from epics romances, it's still really beautiful in its own way.

A Quiet Thing (Live) - YouTube

And here's where the headcanons come in:

Langris and Finesse both are very "quiet" in the way they show their love, neither one of them are going to plan the big romantic gestures or have these huge over-the-top love confessions, but they are both very devoted and steadfast people. They love spending time together, really just enjoying each other's company in these everyday moments as they have tea or tend to her garden together. Langris might not have the romanticism of someone like say Finral (those big "band" or fireworks"), but he takes care of her. He listens to her and remembers all these little details about her and her life. He pulls weeds from her garden when she mentions she's worried about it but too ill to tend her garden herself. He surprises her with a few of her favorite flowers or her favorite soup when she's feeling down. It's in these moments that Finesse sees that despite his somewhat frosty exterior, Langris really does have this soft side and cares very deeply about "his people." It's his soft steadfastness and devotion to her that really leads her to really fall in love with him. And when she does, she is a little shy about it and skirts around the topic, but ultimately, she is the one to confess first.

*-*-*

As for the Altan & Ezio cousin friendship part of the ask... It's so wholesome and makes me so happy that you care about my oc enough to ask about him. I like to imagine they would get along well and be good and supportive cousins and friends for each other so perhaps a bit generic (but one of my all-time favorite songs) I've chosen "You've Got A Friend" by James Taylor (the Carole King version is also excellent).

You've Got a Friend (2019 Remaster) - YouTube

Related Headcanon:

As the older cousin, Ezio has always tried to look out for Altan, in a similar way to how Finral always tried to look out for Langris, but in this case, Altan has always felt comfortable coming to Ezio if he was ever in trouble or needed help. In return, Altan always tries to cheer Ezio up when he's feeling down (or heartbroken). He'll make a warm, comforting cup of tea for him (something he learned from his mother, Finesse) and is a great listener when/Ezio ever needs to talk about his troubles.

history 101 💛

This was originally just supposed to be me having fun exploring what Ephemer would be like as a teacher but it got a bit out of hand in a good way (but I think I spent way too long on this lol)

Notes:

I wholeheartedly believe that teaching is Eph’s true passion. While writing Overmorrow, I came to realize that his role as a teacher/master is necessary in ensuring that light and the will of the keyblade lives on, but it’s also something he would just genuinely enjoy doing on a personal level. Aside from being able to infodump to his heart’s content (that’s a big deal! 😄), he can also help, inspire, and lead as a teacher! I think if he does actually establish the Keyblade order/academy in canon, it would be his pride and joy

Eph’s actual classroom may not have looked like kh3/dr’s, but I like to believe it was probably similarly designed. (He learned a lot about teaching from Hestia 🥰)

Lyra first appeared here :) the rest of the students are new, I made them up on the spot

my ass could not have handled making Overmorrow as a webcomic

Hey, I wanted to thank you for your work.

I have a beautiful relationship, but we kinda pushed each other away because life was hard. We're good now, but it really helped me reading your story. I felt validation, even if my situation was different. That's something you normally don't get in published romantic fiction novels.

Dear Anonymous,

I can barely find the words. Not just words, but words that are good enough to tell you what your message means to me. I've stared at it since you sent it wondering how I could tell you that this is possibly the highest compliment I have ever received. I am stunned. I quite literally cried.

I am so honoured and humbled that my story helped you. When I started writing a realistic, modern day story of a marriage that needed help, of two people who drifted apart without huge dramatic scenes or shouting and screaming, two people who loved each other and just needed help finding their way back, I really thought no-one would read it.

That you were able to feel validated, even though your situation was different, that my story was there for you to read and helped you in even the tiniest way or the smallest and quietest moment, that makes every single second I have spent writing it worth while.

That means more to me than anything and is worth its weight in gold.

Dear Anonymous, I am so deeply touched by your message and I am utterly thrilled you are feeling happier now in your beautiful relationship.

Sending you all the love in the world because you deserve it. I hope you have the absolute best day.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

SHOW YOUR COLORING tagged by @milkpansa thank you nini 🥰

i work the most with color balance, vibrance, select color, levels, and brightness. i enjoy working with dark scenes. a lot. you'd think i'm a bit of a masochist, and i do love the challenge, yet tbh sometimes they're easier for me than scenes that are lit brightly! bringing color back into washed-out scenes can be tougher than balancing the colors in a dark scene. but i've gotten so much better and seen myself grow, even in the last 8 months. for example, in this set: gifs 1 and 4 were scenes i had previously colored, back in december '22. here are their predecessors 1 (gif 3), & 2 (set). you can really see the difference!!

the discovery that i'm also getting better at correcting scenes that are mostly yellow, is something that makes me really happy, too, because that's what i used to struggle with the most while gifmaking.

i'm so grateful to be able to create in a space surrounded by other talented people, where i can learn, and grow, and share! @willsilvertongue, @coredrill and @guntapon - my forever tag list. ♥️ @cal-kestis, @bo-kryzze, @userneos, @justafriend-ql i would love to see your work showcased, if you're in the mood to do this. 💝

If there's anywhere Grimsley loves, it's the beaches of Alola. He's always felt called to the sea; the salty sea-smell and the cold breeze that splashes his skin making feel alive in a way that's hard to explain. Usually, he prefers the darkness of the night, and the beach wouldn't seem to be his kind of place if you look at his image, but hey - even a man like him needs to relax sometimes, right?

When he spots the kid, he doesn't know who they are. If he'd been at Alola for longer, he might have heard of them - being a member of team Skull and a skilled trainer as well is enough to get a lot of eyes on you, both good and bad. But Grimsley's only been here for a short time, so what instead catches his attention isn't who they are - but the way they're looking at him, with a gaze so intense it almost leaves him feeling uncomfortable.

Keyword: almost. Uncle Grimsley doesn't let things let that put him off, after all. Chuckling to himself, he turns towards them fully instead, playing with the coin in his hands as he goes to speak.

"Hey, kid. Are you out here enjoying the sea-breeze too?" He asks, wondering if they recognize him as a former member of Unova's elite four, but not wanting to make assumptions. "Couldn't help but notice that frown on your face... maybe I can help you out?"

"Hello, my darling! I'm so happy to see you again!" Klaus ran up to you quickly, practically picking you up with his tight and affectionate hug. "I missed you so, so much! I just hate being away from you so much." He began pecking his lips all over your face, venturing down to your neck for a bit before finishing off with a deeper kiss to your own lips.

"I hope you didn't mind me being gone, Jonas. But, now that I'm back, what do you want to do?" He let go of you from his vice grip hug, smiling. "I have a lot of free time for now, so, we could watch a movie you want, order some food, maybe just have a cuddle session?" He held your hand as he spoke, his cheeks a bit red, as they always were when he was around you.

"But, those are all just suggestions. I'm fine with anything, really, as long as it's with you. You know how much I love you, right, Jonas?~"

Take your husband :3

Mmm I love my husband <3

⭐️ for any of your stories 🥰!

Thank you so much for the ask, Lyra! I really appreciate it!

I wasn't sure which of my stories to choose to add some director's commentary to, so I chose one of my smaller Black Clover works "A World Without You" which is a one-shot about Vanessa and Finral's platonic friendship and a conversation they had about what happened in the Forest of Witches arc.

I was inspired to write this story after having a conversation with a friend irl about that arc and how much it probably affected them and their characters. Since the Forest of Witches arc was one of my favorite arcs in the entire series, I was really excited about the opportunity to get to explore that especially since I hadn't really seen the aftermath of that arc talked about before.

There is one particular piece of dialogue I'd like to talk about:

“Finral, I…” Vanessa shook her head. Before she could stop it, a shaky, almost incredulous laugh escaped from her mouth. “You’re unbelievable, you know that?”

Finral looked up at her seemingly in spite of himself. “What?”

“You nearly died, and you’re worried about me…?” Vanessa shook her head again but smiled as she ruffled his hair. “We don’t deserve you...”

I'm a little nervous to admit this, but it was actually inspired by a conversation I had in real life. A dear friend of mine was once rushed to the hospital while I was thousands of miles away from home for school. Needless to say, I was kind of a wreck when I found out, but when his condition was finally stable and he called me to let me know he was doing okay, he was worried about me and rather than talk about himself, he immediately started asking if I was okay. It was sweet, but I was so surprised and basically said, "What in the world? You're in the hospital and you're worried about me? You're unbelievable."

That memory really came to mind when I was working on that story. I could just hear Vanessa and Finral having a similar conversation, especially in this context. Finral is so worried about Vanessa and everything that she went through and how he wasn't able to protect her in the Forest of Witches whereas Vanessa is just thinking "You almost died. Priorities, Finral." But I think that's the kind of person that Finral is. He thinks of his friends first and wants to make everyone happy. I liked getting to explore that side of him a little bit in that story, and, of course, the happy ending is getting to see him and Vanessa support each other as friends through what was a difficult time for them.

@secondbetrayer asked: what's a hobby they used to have that they miss?

she enjoyed music profoundly, when she was young. she admired greatly the strength that it had, throughout all of its forms, to bring such a visceral emotional response from someone, and she misses the control of composition, the mastering of a voice or an instrument. a therapeutic sense of reign you couldn't draw from anywhere else. her mother had taught her to wield the tongue was a woman's greatest weapon, and that you could do marvellous things with little more than the subtle elegance. upon greater interest she found that to be true of music, too.

it's about power, of course. it always is.

its about the unrelenting force it exerts over even the strongest of people, like Asriel. those brief instances he would share with her, fascinated by the vulnerability it provoked and how moved he was, and the pieces that helped him to think. it baffled her how a man who didn't ever appear to be enamoured with the idea almost held a desire beyond himself. a need, wired down to the very thing that made him mortal. she did her best to find a song that would haunt him, an era ago. what she would give now to sift through his collection and find it missing.

it's about the atmosphere it gives to a crowd. how the perfect theme had to be hand chosen in order to accompany an event. a piece that would adopt a wanted mood, and push people to talk. about the piece that rattles through her as she departs the lounge, reverberating through the wall and amplifying the beating drum in her chest once she realises lyra has vanished.

it's about strange melodies used in Bolvangar, too. to soothe smaller children and study the impact it has upon one's daemon. hand crafted compositions she has perfected through hours of meticulous study in order to ease the process, travelling beyond the walls of the station, now warped and twisted into folktales so far as Oxford.

she is often identified as something undefinable. something anbaric. but what they fail to see is the identity to be found in the vibrations of sound, and the secret to how brandishing so little as a tune in turn topples the world. music outlasts us all. outlasts oblivion.

hi there! since a lot of writers have been feeling down due to the lack of feedback (reblogs, comments), i wanted to pop in to express how thankful i am for having my favorite authors around sharing their work with us. if you've received this ask, it means i deeply appreciate your work and feel truly grateful for having the opportunity to consume your stories. you are creative and very talented author, and it's a delight to have you here. i love you and i'm proud of you. <3

lyra

Lyra, this is so sweet and kind, and something I definitely needed to hear. Tumblr can be such an unforgiving place for writers when it comes to feedback, so to get this in my inbox was a pleasant surprise. Thank you for all that you do to uplift writers.

I love you, too, babes 💕

[cardo-de-comer]

soo helloo and i think it's time for me to explain the deal with my characters and this whole "you're not supposed to be here" thing. EDIT: just fixed some stuff. thank you folks for your support, i really appreciate you all <3

i made these characters way back in june and by today they have a lot of lore around them in my head. i even have a dream to make a game with them but it's just a dream for now so i'm gonna try to explain the main things about this story. Obviously this is a long post, although I tried to keep this stuff short. and excuse me for my writing and any mistakes, I don't usually write this much text.

It starts with the world. Alternate 15th century, humanity is almost gone and what's left of it shares quite a big city with demons and angels. However, demons and angels are usually being treated like servants - eventually one gets tired of it all, so everyone knows an uprising is just around the corner. Let's just ignore that for now.

The City has a catch of it's own - it's alive. The walls have eyes and ears and the City knows every resident by heart and soul, both figuratively and literally. Usually City acts through the King, it chooses protectors for itself, ones who have strong minds to comprehend it - they will be called the royal knights, each of them have a company of a /more wiser than the rest of them/ demon and angel to help with their tasks. Only the King and ten royal knights know that the City is alive and very talkative but they don't understand fully what it's trying to tell them. Most of them choose to ignore the voices in their head because hey, that's what you do usually in this situation, otherwise they drive you nuts.

City is also extremely emotional and appearance depends on its condition. Usually it's a sunny day out and the city looks welcoming, but you don't want to be there when the City is scared: it might eat you alive by accident. Now that the environment is aside, time for the main three characters.

Imri is a young lad who will soon be a royal knight. He actually wanted to be a painter when he grows up but well, you cannot disobey the king's orders. Quite emotionless and a man of a few words, he tries to stay on a neutral ground between good and bad - a perfect candidate for manipulation to all three sides, demons, angels and the City.

look at him

Royal knights get to know their angel and demon companions at least a week before they get knighted to avoid any misunderstandings. Imri doesn't mind his friends at all, although one of them caused quite a fuss.

Angel /they name themselves Lyra/ is an overly positive, naive and blindly kind entity. A bit childish and very fond of justice, they try to act as a voice of conscience, not understanding that sometimes this can make everything even worse than it was. There is a feeling that they're trickier than it seems but you can never quite tell.

the latin text all over them is just a part of their design

The demon though... That's not even a demon, that's the Devil himself. Yes, everyone knows who this is, everyone avoids him and he's not supposed to be here at all. Despite being THE Devil, he didn't try to do anything horrific yet and, when he's not joking around, he tries to be the voice of reason, the voice that no one listens to. He seems to know a lot more about this whole world than anyone else but he talks about it only when he wants to.

no one likes him at all, expect maybe Imri who just tolerates his presence like he always does

That's the main three. There is a few secondary characters, Imri's father being one of them.

sir Jastrab /or just Dell/ is one of the royal knights, he's a bit naive, loyal, and a soul so kind that his demon hung himself. Oh well. He lost one hand in what he calls "a work accident" which is partly true but he never goes into details.

He never wanted for his son to be a part of the knights because he knows by experience that it's not an easy job and not every father wants for their child to go insane from the voices in their head.

few people said that the angel accompanying him looks like d20 and so be it

The others are Sun and Moon - local deities, despite being on the sky every day and night, usually they don't really care about what's going on down below. You can still talk to them but don't expect much action. Regardless of all this, they are still loved by almost all living things. They can rarely meet each other but humans always depict them together no matter what.

creators of the Stars - some part of a human soul that i can't talk about :)

Angels and demons come in all forms and sizes but those are the main population - lesser demons resemble the Devil in some ways and lesser angels look like clovers. Rivals usually but when the revolution happens, they learn to tolerate and work with each other. Humanity doesn't really have a chance.

they hate everyone equally And there is another being, that Imri meets a few times through the story - it's Death. Death is just having fun in this end of the world and there is a lot of work to be done.

this is an old and rough design so maybe it'll change The whole story begins at that day when Imri is supposed to be knighted. Everything seemed fine until Imri gets to hear the City for the first time and realizes that he hears and sees a lot more than everyone else. Completely overwhelmed he blacks out - even the toughest of minds often can't take it - and wakes up later only to find out that the King got killed somehow, angels and demons saw this as the starting point for a revolution and the City starts to panic.

Now Imri, guided by his companions and the voice of scared City that's crumbling and slowly drives him insane, shall travel to the center of it to find out what really happened, getting through demons and angels who are busy destroying the rest of humanity. Fun.

There is a lot more to this whole thing but I cannot tell the entire plot because spoilers, in case if i actually will make something out of this story. Think of it as a game lore. I'm not sure about making sth yet because i operate only on hopes and dreams and i barely have any strength lately but who knows... But now you have at least some context! And yeah, thank you if you actually read all of this, you're a hero.

Now i need to get back to drawing. Thank you all for your support. <3

🥀Hello, I saw you’re eyeless Jack Dating before he was sacrificed. If you wouldn’t mind could you do Toby Rogers- before He went coo coo for cocoa puffs and Slenderman basically stole him. 😭😂 Please and thank you hope you have a good day. 🤍

I LOVE THIS REQUEST SM🤍

🥀- Dating Ticci Toby! Before he became a proxy!

~fluff, set before the accident:)

I won’t be able to post everyday, sadly. Since I’m starting school I’m also gonna start cooking club, national honour society then tennis:(. But please keep requesting I will not stop posting completely:).

____________________________________________

- you noticed Toby’s golden heart at first, how much he got bullied, everything in his life, yet he remained to have a soft expression.

- At first, he thought you were pranking him when you gave him the note, your cheeks flush. But when he looked at the note and thought it was a prank he didn’t miss the hurt on your face.

________________________________________

Toby’s dark hazel eyes scan the note, some tics jerking his neck and making him restart reading the note. Thinking it’s some sick joke, as if anyone like you would like anyone like him, his eyes narrow and he practically spits at you. “L- Let me guess. T-this was a sick joke w-wasn’t it?” He says seriously, his tics making him stutter a bit but his tone remained hurt, aggravated, and angry, all of the bullying he received callousing his heart and making him firmly believe that no one would even spare him a second glance. Your eyes fill with hurt and your stomach plunges from rejection, a little embarrassed and let down your voice shakes. “No it’s not. I really like you.” Toby softened a bit at your tone but then hardened again “you don’t know me.” You were fed up. Can’t he see you actually like him for him? “But I want to.” Toby’s mouth shuts and he shoves his hands in his pockets of his black hoodie and nods. “I’ll have my sister pick you up so we can go to the movies or something Friday..” he says reluctantly, still a little convinced that you wouldn’t ever like him.

_________________________________________

- his sister, Lyra, was absolutely glowing when you entered the car, sticking her hand out almost immediately and smiling widely, no one had taken her brother out before, not even giving him respect. So she was over the moon.

- you talked with Lyra a bit, and then turned your attention towards Toby, who was looking at you with softest, most affectionate filled earthy green eyes ever. Sparkling gently. It was like he lit up when he finally realised you were serious, not only serious but getting along with his sister.

- during the movie, you tried very very slowly to grab his hand. He immediately tensed and gasped a tiny bit. But only 20 minutes later he reached out, first with his pinky and then his whole, shaky, scarred hand.

- when you intertwined your fingers, Toby was convinced he never felt more happy, he didn’t even watch the rest of the movie, he was focused on you.

-how your features glowed in the dim light, how you smiled during a happy moment, or gently did your [enter your nervous fidget.] when a tense part came up.

____________________________________________

-when he’s tired of everything going on in his house he’ll bike ride or walk over to your house and taps on the window just to hold you.

- he’ll pull your waist in with his arms and bury his face in your shoulder. Gently kissing it sweetly mumbling “my y/n”

-genuinely wants to cry of happy tears whenever you defend him from bullies.

- finger tip kisses.

-while you two are sitting across from each other in somewhere public, or holding each other in the quiet night, he lifts your intertwined hands, frees your hand and gently kisses your fingertips.

-he can’t really buy you any gifts but he certainly makes you tiny doodles on sticky notes to put in your locker or room.

- his eyes got misty when you first told him you loved him.

-you got him a gold heart locket with your picture in it and yourself one with his picture. He never takes it off and kisses it whenever he misses you.

-late night talks on the rooftop, stargazing, after he ran to your house again in the middle of the night.

-You’re his angel; his light, the love of his life. He can’t stop the thoughts of running away with you whenever he looks at your pretty smile or hears your heavenly laugh.

- “My sweet y/n” “my y/n” “Angel”

-your first kiss is when you two were stargazing, the sweetest, most affectionate kiss ever. Putting your foreheads together first, lacing your fingers, then finally meeting for a soft kiss.

-he runs to you if he sees you in the hallways.

-so, in theory…Toby..💪
